"Please go educate yourself on the Moors and the Ottomans. How can you deny that the civilizations that inspired the European rennaissance and the ones that that invented algebra and rediscovered mathematical and scientific reason from the Greeks and Indians, and shared it with the entire world - how can you deny that they were not civilizations of logic and reason."

the moors RAPED sicily which is part of my country of today...

Educate yourself.

The Myth of the Golden Age of Tolerance in Medieval Muslim Spain

http://www.ninevehsoft.com/fiorina.htm

the two links above deny that there was ever a muslim civilization, you stole everything.

"Your tragic mistake is comparing those civilizations to the modern world. How can you do such an unfair thing? Do you compare medieval Europe to the modern world to argue that Christianity is violent because Christian empires were constantly at war?"

christianity is NOT VIOLENT otherwise useless humans like yourself wouldn't be able to freely circulate!!! Remember this, you have your little pc and eating the goods of western life, because we are too good to be real.

"Do you use Moses' and David's historical battles and massacres of non-believers to argue that Judaism is a naturally violent religion? Then why do so of Islam, its empire and its prophet?"

Moses used power to take off jews from egyptians enslavement.

your prophet used violence to ROB CARAVANS AND ENSLAVE PEOPLE.... the other religions did not.
